| ① | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 5x^2+3x+10 \right) = -5x^2-3x-10 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{9x^2} + \color{red}{24x} \color{green}{-8} \color{blue}{-5x^2} \color{red}{-3x} \color{green}{-10} = \color{blue}{4x^2} + \color{red}{21x} \color{green}{-18} $$ |
